MONEY And BUSINESS.

Bankers and business men begin to discuss
the fact that money comes back from the IN
terror more slowly than usual. IL is now the
18th of April, and the banks have not only
made no gain Of importa nee in their reserves
no gain indeed save such as the unusual Treas
ury disbursements of the previous week would
explain. in connection with the banks deceptive
system Of avcragcs-but the course Of domestic
exchanges barely permits the return OF money
to this point from the West, while the East
is still drawing money from here, and state
mcnts Of banks and express companies indicate
that no return Of consequence has yet occurred.
The argument current in the Street is that If
money does not come back here, that shows
an extraordinary activity in business else
where. But activity of what sort 7 The rag
ing real estate speculation absorbs more money
than activity of any other sort, because real
property does not change hands ten or twenty
times in day, as stuff nominally does in grain.
oil or stock exchanges. If the real estate boom
has absorbed the money for which other spec
ulation is looking, the net result is that Wall
Street finds itself c-trackcd for once.
But there Ire some other things TO be noted.
IL is well known that the Treasury has counted
uDon the fact that small silver certificates,
going into the channels of retail trade Ill over
the country, will stay in circulation great
deal longer than the larger notes or the
coins of any kind. An official statement shows
that $50 100000 of these small certificates
had been put out April l, and moro have
since gone out These are not expected to
como back, and it would be equally inconycn-
lent for the Trcl sury and the banks if they
should come back in large amounts. Reckon
ing these two important causes of detention
in the interior of money sent thithcr. there
is plainly little reason to expect liberal re-
turn this spring.
Almost every journal, from every part of the
country. is filled with accounts Of trouble
caused by the Interstate bill. Current Wall
Street answers are unusualIy shallow. Unc Is
that the railroads continue to report large
earnings But why not, seeing that the In
terstate bill went lot" egcet April g. that
freight shipped up to that day will continue
TO count in earnings of distant roads for ten

THE MURDERER OF VEEKS.

The evidence against Cromwell, or Green
wald, the supposed murderer OF Lyman 5.
Weeks of Brooklyn. must necessarily be wholly
circumstantial. The only person who saw him
in Mr.. Weeks's house was Mr.. Weeks himself a
moment before he fell. slain by the burglars
bullet. No ore saw the intruder leave the
house. and for time he seemed to be swaE
lowed ND in the darkness Of the night in which
his crime was committed. But an unexpected
cew was discovered in the two men OF peculiar
appearance seen first a Usually on ferryboat and
later standing in front of the Weeks house
and this has been followed up with excellent
results
How much dependence is TO be placed upon
the lcgcd confession of Greenwich to Krause
and Baker remains to lie shown. but it has been
found that these two men have told the truth
in regard TO the various robborics which
they have admitted they were engaged in,
and this decidedly strengthens the belief that
they did not lie when they said that Greenwich
had confessed the shooting of Weeks. Early last
week il looked IA if the Brooklyn police. dis
comfittcd at the success of Inspector Byrnes,
had determined to adept tho theory that Knusc
was the real murderer; but this idea seems to
nave ltcll anu 'ilHt>p ti'il> lid w
been made to secure all the evidence possible
against Greenwich 1t has been established TINT
he las long been q thief and a burglar, and
that it was his habit to carry knife or re-
volycr lie had lived in Brooklyn not far from
Mr.. Wccks's house. 1t certainly will not he
easy for him to explain the fact that he and
Miller were standing in front of that house
an hour or two before the murder occurred
and perhaps further important evidence may
be obtained from Miller himself
This is ease in which every householder in
BROOKLYN and Ncw-YOrk cannot fail to be in
tcrcsted Any house is lil.be to be invaded
by burglars, and no head of a family wants
to run the risk of meeting Mr.. Wccks's fate.
Mr.. Weeks died in the defence of his property,
but his life was nccdlcssly sacrificed. If his
murderer is not discovered and punished il will
be notable failure of justice.
